It seems to me I ought to be able to construct a query, probably using
sub-SELECTs), that would do what I want. I have a table that looks roughly
like this:

CREATE TABLE prod (prod_num INTEGER UNIQUE, prod_title VARCHAR(255), updated
DATE)
  UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY (prod_num);

In this table there might be two records that have the same title, with
different values for prod_num and updated. I want to find the prod_nums for
the older of the two records. I know when the new ones were updated, so that
can be a literal.

I just haven't been able to think it through. Using NOT IN with the subquery
gave me the inverse of what I wanted. This shouldn't be impossible to do,
Access has a "find duplicates" wizard; but come to think of it, that lists
both records and I never tried to limit it to just the older.
